Peri Bigogno is a family run winery located in the Castenedolo Hills near the City of Brescia and near the west side of Lake Garda.

The recently expanded wine cellar is located in a seventeenth century palace that has been in the Peri family since 1946.

The Peri Bigogno viticulture philosophy is one that is dervied from a respect for the terroir, environment and viticultural identity. Their Gobbo 2008, a blend of cabernet, merlot and marzemino was selected by Guida Critica Galosa as one of Italy's top 100 wines in 2012. Their Talento wines (traditional method sparkling wines) are also masterfully made and receive much attention.

It was in 1980 when the charming project of producing a sparkling wine with refermentation in the bottle,
according to what could then still be called "Method Champenoise", involved and excited Peri’s family. Thus, for over thirty years, the picking of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes for the creation of the base wine for Vintage sparkling wines opens the intense and exciting period of harvest.

Talento identifies the excellence of Italian sparkling.
The word "Talento" since 2004 is in fact exclusively reserved to Italian sparkling wines obtained by the Classic Method of bottle refermentation and this happens only with Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Blanc grapes, which are considered the most valuable grapes to produce quality sparkling wines.
